An ad angle is the reason you give someone to care about your product. Price, speed, health, status and convenience are all angles. The same product can be sold on many angles, and each one reaches a different buyer.

## One product, five angles

Take a INR 1,999 air purifier for small rooms.

| Angle | Who it reaches | Line we wrote |
|---|---|---|
| Health | Parents of young children | "Cleaner air in your child's room tonight." |
| Price | Budget-minded renters | "Big-brand air at a third of the price." |
| Convenience | Busy professionals | "Set it once. Filter alerts on your phone." |
| Fear of loss | Allergy sufferers | "Pollen season starts next month." |
| Proof | Sceptics | "Tested in 500 Delhi homes this winter." |

Only the last line needs a real study behind it. Never claim proof you do not have.

## Angle, hook and format

- **Angle:** why they should care.
- **Hook:** how you open that reason in the first seconds.
- **Format:** the shape of the ad: UGC video, static, carousel, demo.

A test that changes the angle tells you more than one that changes a colour. Meta tells advertisers to build a range of creatives, and a new angle is the clearest way to make one.

## How to find angles

1. Read your reviews. Customers tell you why they bought, in their own words.
2. Read competitor ads in an ad library. Note the angles they repeat and the ones nobody uses.
3. Read comments under your ads, including the complaints.
4. Ask your sales or support team which reason closes the most deals.

## FAQ

### How many angles should a brand run?

Enough that your active ads cover at least three or four different reasons to buy. Many accounts run one angle in twenty versions.

### What is the difference between an angle and a concept?

A concept is one full creative idea, built on an angle. "A mum tests the purifier with a smoke stick" is a concept on the health angle.
